FOX6 News at 9 | Nov. 11, 2026

With stories that matter to you, this is Fox 6 News at 9. If I can get anywhere close to what I got this year, I think I'll be happy. Now on Fox 6 News at 9, World Series check, Cy Young award winner double check, the high honor for Jacob Mizorowski, and why there was never any doubt. Plus, we're going to continue tracking our weather as temperatures will be falling to the 20s. I'll give you those details coming up. They're telling the victim, I can kill you, I am God, and I will decide if you live or die. And prosecutors say he eventually did. Tonight, the Fox 6 investigators dig into domestic violence and a case that advocates say stunned and appalled them. Our big story tonight at 9, amazing Jacob Mizorowski. You know, Mizorowski? This year's National League Cy Young Award winner. Nobody didn't think he deserved. First place is the highest honor for any pitcher in the sport. Lily Zhao is here. It's one of the best performances, maybe the best performance we've ever seen from a Brewers pitcher. Yeah, and that's exactly why he earned this honor. Jacob Mizorowski capping off a historic season, again, with a very fitting award. He was the unanimous winner of this year's National League Cy Young Award. And what Miz did on the mound in just his second season in the majors was something to behold. He led all of baseball with a 180 earned run average. He also led the majors with two home runs 252 strikeouts the end of the regular season and with a year that included a complete game shutout over the Phillies to help and close out the World Series in Game 5 in Tampa. This was Mizorowski season and that last part was something he will never forget. That's definitely the highlight of the year for me. You know, you have to go look at the last game. But, no, it was an honor to get two wins in the World Series. So it's really cool. But, no, those memories flash back. You know, just you close your eyes at night and I still can see myself and what I was seeing in that moment when we finally won it. And this is now the fourth Brewers pitcher to win the Cy Young Award. I asked him, what do you do next year? How do you up yourself? He said the goal is to do it all over again. Ben again. His story just never gets old. This was a kid who no one knew a couple years ago, and now all the world knows him. I like his goals, Lily. Thanks. Let's turn to the weather now. Uh-oh. It's getting cold out there. And tomorrow morning. Take off all your clothes. Oh, no, that's it's getting hot in here. They're laughing. Different song. The opposite of that. We may see snowflakes tomorrow. Yes, we may see a few snowflakes tomorrow. In fact, some of our northern communities are already seeing it just in the northern part of our state. And it looks like some of that is coming off of the lake. So that could be even more of the lake effect snow. We will get lake effect rain tomorrow, which could produce a few of those snowflakes in our forecast. But this is the one thing you got to know. It's not going to be anything where it's an accumulation. It's going to melt when it hits the ground because temperatures will still be above freezing. Now, we do see some areas that are already cooler. We're in the 30s just to the north. There are 36 in Duluth as well as Marquette, 38 out in North Platte, 37 in Sioux Falls, bringing it closer to home here. We're just at 49 degrees, seeing more of those 40s across our viewing area here. So we're flirting with the 40s, not really dropping with our temperatures so quickly, but we will. We will get to the 30s later on tonight slash early in the morning tomorrow. Here's a look at that evening planner up to midnight. We'll finally make it to lower 30s by midnight with those clouds to continue to push through the area. Maybe a stray shower or two could be expected, but overall, we should be continuing to dry out. And then we do another round of a slight chance of rain. We'll talk more about that and what's to come coming up. Back to you at the desk. All right, Holly, thanks. I got you with that one. Track the weather anywhere, anytime with the Fox 6 Storm Center app. The radar, it's one of the best around, and you get severe weather alerts based on where you are. The app is a free download. We are following breaking news that we have been following all evening from Brooklyn, New York. Victims, a search is happening after a three-story building collapses. It fell right into a construction site. Many of these rescues are being caught on camera. First responders pulling a woman from underneath a lot of debris. She is alive and was responding, but we do not know her condition. We're also hearing a young child was rescued. Also alive, but in serious condition. And tonight we've learned at least two people have died. Twelve others have been hurt. And the work continues tonight. Here's a live picture. From the scene right now, more than 150 first responders are on the scene. You can see them sifting through the debris by hand to search for anyone else who might be trapped inside. It's unclear, again, what might have caused that collapse, but there are just so many responders there. We've not seen a scene like this. We were saying this looks like a natural disaster, an earthquake, the aftermath. But this is from a building collapse in New York. The danger, too, for the first responders, they have to go and do this by hand because if you move debris, it could shift and everybody's in danger at this. So it's been incredible. Look, they're doing it by bucket load. They're taking debris out and finding little pockets to see if there's anybody under there. They do believe seven people were underneath when the building went down and have been trapped in there. So the work continues tonight. We'll keep our eyes on New York City. Back here locally, what was supposed to be a fun day at a Halloween event turned tragic for a Racine family after an infant choked on a piece of a balloon and died. Abril Preciado caught up with the mother of that baby boy at a fundraiser this evening. She joins us with a message for parents. Abril. That's right you guys that mother tells me that her son was 11 months old and just two days away from finally being one years old and she tells me that she hopes that through this fundraiser and by speaking up she could help help other parents learn about the dangers about balloon safety and hopes to help save other kids lives. My baby boy, he was very smart and loving. Yeah. He had an affectionate laugh and smile. Heartbroken, mom Keisha Vida Wilson remembers her 11-month-old son. That's all I will remember my baby turned blue in one second and went into cardiac arrest, Avitia Wilson says her son died after swallowing and choking on a piece of balloon that popped after leaving a trunk or treat event in Racine. I did everything that I could, which was CPR, the sticking of my finger down his throat, patting his back. But From the moment that they screamed, he was blue the entire time. She says medical professionals told her the piece of balloon shot down the bottom of his esophagus and took his life. I wish I could turn back time. Avitia Wilson says she was 31 weeks pregnant at the time and the stress pushed her into labor early. I gave birth to my baby and the funeral's over. I have been everywhere now because I feel like my emotions are actually kicking in now. Leaning onto family and the community in this Culver's fundraiser, She wants parents to know the dangers of balloons. I don't want any other parents to go through this ever again. All while hoping she and her family can get back on their feet through a painful loss. This can happen to anybody's babies and a lot of people aren't really used to this story because I've never even heard of a baby swallowing a balloon and passing away. It's quite the painful time that the family is going through now. They tell me that they're still in need of help and have set up a GoFundMe page now you can find that link on this story on our website or on our Fox Local app reporting live from Racine Abel Preciado Fox 6 News. Too heartbreaking story at a time when that mom also would be celebrating the birth of a child. Alright, Abel Preciado, thank you so much. Children's Wisconsin goes on lockdown for several hours today after receiving a bomb threat. It all started around 1.30 this afternoon. By 4.30, no credible threat was found. The lockdown was lifted. In a statement, Children's Wisconsin says they're grateful for the swift response of law enforcement and the cooperation of their patients, family, visitors, and all the staff that works there. And just this week, there had been at least two other bomb threats called in at similar facilities across the country. One was this afternoon at Boston Children's Hospital. The other was Sunday at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. It's unclear right now if the incidents are connected. A man charged with sexually assaulting two women was in court today to plead guilty in the case. But instead, he rejected the offer of 30 years in prison. And I ain't taking nothing to trial. I want to plead a good plea deal. That's not a deal. You do 30 years. I did two charges. I should have killed the d***. 32-year-old Cephas Johnson was later removed from court. There he goes. Prosecutors say Johnson targeted two women within hours on April 8th and 9th this year, one near 5th and Wisconsin, and a second woman inside the intermodal station. Court filings say Johnson told police if released, he would kill women. Court records show a competency exam was ordered and found Johnson competent to proceed with the case. So because of what happened in court today, he'll be back in court next month. Chaotic new video tonight after two Milwaukee police officers are bit by a dog while trying to take a woman into custody. This is crazy. It happened back in August, but police just releasing the video to Fox 6 tonight. We're going to be under a rust rope, ******. No, okay, I'll give you my information. No, we're too late. Turn around. No, no, no, I want to get my information. Stop resisting. Hey, get back! No! Get the dog. Officers used a taser to eventually stop the dog and not injure it. Both officers were taken to the hospital. Police say the 25-year-old woman had instructed her dog to attack the officers. Packers felt the heat when they played the Minnesota Vikings to kick off their season. That pressure has not relented. Tim Van Voren has more on how the Packers will handle that pressure this time around. The Minnesota Vikings has some eye-popping defensive statistics so far this season. Through eight games, they've allowed only 116 points total. I'm not trying to force you to do math, but think about it. Eight games, 116 points. That's pretty impressive. They can turn it up against Jordan Love and the Packers. Yeah, it's called pressure. So it's anything at any time, basically? Oh, yeah. And they've evolved a little bit, too. I mean, that naturally happens throughout the course of the season. He's in... But they are a really good defense. I think it's sound and it's hard to go against. And they've got really smart players. Can handle everything. With them, they thrive on turnovers. They thrive on, you know, throwing the offense off a little bit by putting people up, bringing different pressures, and trying to come away with takeaways. Love actually shone brightly against Minnesota in the opener this regular season despite the defense coming after him, and he does lead the NFL in passing yards this season. Ahead of Sunday's game here at Lambeau, Tim Van Voren, Fox 6 Sports. And you can watch the Packers take on Kurt Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings Sunday at noon right here on Fox 6. We'll wrap up everything on the Blitz at 10.30 p.m. He's about to undertake one of the most difficult challenges on earth. And he's hoping to make a difference. It struck me that there were homeless veterans. So it was kind of one of those, like the two words shouldn't even coexist. The insane challenge that he'll take on. This is a Milwaukee native around the world in seven days. And why can't you mix deer hunting and hockey? Okay. When the Milwaukee Admirals will debut their blaze orange jerseys. We're back in 60 seconds. We'll be right back. You're watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy. Paying tribute to our nation's veterans. Today, of course, is Veterans Day, a day to honor all of those who have served. In Milwaukee, a ceremony was held at the Vietnam War Memorial in Veterans Park. We rededicate ourselves to honoring veterans at the same time we are rededicating the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The memorial underwent a total restoration originally dedicated in 1991. The concrete footings and the nearly 3,000 memorial bricks were all refurbished. A special ceremony to honor vets at the State Capitol Building in Madison today. The ceremony brings together Wisconsinites, elected officials, and veterans, of course, to honor and remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Seven marathons in seven days across seven continents, all for a good cause. I'm already tired just hearing that. Christina Van Zoust explains how a local runner is taking on the Great World Race. Yeah, pretty impressive. Q Harrison Terry is from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Tonight, he's across the world in Cape Town, South Africa, and before embarking on one of the most difficult endurance challenges ever, he's doing it all for homeless veterans. Nicolet gave me the fighting spirit. More than 8,000 miles away, Q. Harrison Terry remembers his cross-country roots at Nicolet High School as he gets ready to run seven marathons starting in Antarctica Sunday. He's one of 70 runners running the Great World Race. I'm going to endure some hard miles, but also when I come back home, there's going to be a lot of veterans that won't be walking those miles by themselves trying to figure out what it looks like when they return home. Terry will run seven marathons in seven days in seven continents. If he finishes, the last marathon is in Miami. Every mile he runs is for homeless veterans. I think the whole concept of seeing homeless veterans is just a conceptually challenging thing for me to see because someone literally goes and gives themselves to the country, defends the country, and they come back home, and they're literally mixed up. They don't know if they can go back to where they came from. Terry is raising money for Veterans Empowerment Organization and the Vigilant Torch Foundation to help veterans and their families get a home. He says his grandfather served in the Army, along with a few family members who served. These people went out and they serve our country. They go and they come back and they don't even have a place to go and call home. As he attempts to run 183.4 miles, it comes just in time for Veterans Day. The race it starts Sunday 1st in Antarctica and so far Terry has raised $3000 for homeless veterans. If you want to donate or track his progress, we do have a link. Just head to the Fox local app. Ben back to you. I didn't know you could run a marathon in Antarctica. Yeah, I didn't know that there were seven marathons that were happening all, you know, across the world. I think they plan them out, though. That's crazy. Yeah. Just imagine running a marathon in like Antarctica or somewhere, and then you got to jump on a plane and do it again tomorrow. Well, not everyone makes it either. Not everyone does it. So we'll see if he gets through it all. Yeah, and the weather you got to deal with there, too. So. Hopefully the planes all get off on time, because that's part of it, getting around the world. What a wild challenge, Christina, thanks. And Fox 6 proudly salutes our nation's veterans and the organizations that serve them every day. We are making camo our cause in support of the Honor U.S. Vets campaign. The goal? We're on board like that runner to end veteran homelessness. You can join us by making a donation and wearing camo on Veterans Day. Post your camo if you did it today. on social with hashtag #HonorUSVets, and to donate, this is the important part. This would be great. If you could scan the QR code, you see it on the screen, and you can also visit go.fox.usvets, and all of that money will go to a great cause. Toss to weather. Holly, can you imagine running seven marathons? Mm-mm. I don't want to imagine it. I just even won. Yeah. The one marathon is 12 miles, right? 20, 20 something miles. 20. Wait, what's a marathon? 23.2, 26.5, 26.4, maybe? Because a half a marathon is 13.1. So 26.2. Oh my gosh. That was embarrassing. I'm so sorry. I'm thinking I can't do a 5k. Yeah. All right, Ben, listen, we can shake hands on that. Cause I can't even do a lap. That was off the top of our heads. Not in my future. I can't do it, but I do again. It's just such an amazing thing that this guy is doing that. I know it's so great for him. I am. I'm going to just be, I'll get my steps in at work, so that'll be as much as I do with that. I mean, with the weather this weekend, I don't know who would want to run outside, considering how cold we're going to get. But, hey, if you do go out there, you need to bundle up for sure. Maybe not too much of the layers, because you will start to heat up a little more. We got to 51 degrees today, but that may be the last day that we see 50s, because heading into tomorrow. 40s is what we're going to be expecting. 49 is what temperatures are right now. It feels more like 45 outdoors, and our dew points now are at 42. Wind is from the north at 10 miles per hour. We have started to pick up with our wind speeds as well, so that is going to indicate how much more of this strong wind we're going to see, so, or not even see, to feel, because tomorrow is going to be very windy, not breezy. Windy. Looking at our temperatures here, we see that everybody is in the 40s. We got one area that's lower 40s, two areas at least, or just the northern communities, I should say, in the lower 40s. Then just south of that, we're all in the mid to upper 40s. We are dropping slowly with our temperatures. We will spend quite a bit of time in the 40s, at least mid to upper 40s, before we officially fall to the 30s tonight. Looking at our temperatures and how they've changed, at this point, even though temperatures are dropping, We're still trending warmer right now. 8 degrees warmer in Watertown, 7 degrees warmer in Waukesha, and then we're looking at 3 degrees warmer here in Milwaukee. There's a handful of spots where we are trending just a little bit cooler, and that is Racine as well as even Sheboygan. Looking at those temperatures and how they'll trend throughout the night. See, I told you we're going to stay in the 40s a little while longer. It's not until really after midnight, and that's a couple hours after midnight, where we'll start to have those temperatures falling to the 30s. So with temperatures in the 30s, we're going to be a little above our freezing mark for tonight. So that's going to be okay. But this may be the last night where we actually have that as a trend. We have the cold front that has passed at this point. So now all of the drier air is going to settle in a little bit more. You do start to see a little. A little bit more of those flurries just to our northern communities. We're overall steering clear from that for now. We could see maybe a few flurries in our forecast tomorrow. But honestly, the focus will be the light rain that we receive. Let's take a look here on our Sky Vision Plus. So going throughout the night, we're going to be drying up a little more. Heading into Thursday morning, you see here there is a rain to snow mix. Now, what does that mean? Does it mean we're going to see snow? You may see a few little flakes, but that's going to be mixed in with the rain that we see. It's also going to melt as soon as it hits the ground because we are going to be above our freezing mark, especially as our highs start to warm up or we warm up to our high temperatures throughout the day. That is going to melt whatever snow that we will see. Now, heading throughout the afternoon, we will keep that rain as a possibility. possibility by those lakeside communities. So it could be areas that are going to stay dry, completely dry inland, but your neighbors that are staying by the lake could see a little bit more of that rain. Just be prepared for some light rain overall. We're not going to be expecting heavy rain or any severe weather. We do keep that heavier rain, though, to stay over the lake even as we head into Friday's forecast. But Friday's looking to be much better for us. We will start to dry out more on Friday, but really the sunshine starts to come into play on Saturday. Temperatures warm to the mid to upper 40s. And then Monday and Tuesday, we're back in the 50s. And we keep that sunshine going. Over to you, Kim. All right. Thanks, Holly. The controversial Act 10 now faces a double threat. The latest fight to take on collective bargaining for governmental unions. And a Wisconsin man accused of posting nude pictures of his ex online. But turns out it wasn't his ex. It was actually AI. The new criminal charges filed in the state. For the very first time. For the first time since the Reconstruction era, Mississippi now has a black senator. Democrat Scott Collum flipped the seats in a race that just got called today, more than a week after the midterms. Only a few thousand votes separated him and the incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. And now there's only one Senate race left to be called. That's Alaska. All right. This is crazy video just into the newsroom. It took longer than we anticipated for the once mighty SS United States to disappear between the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Look at this. This just happened about 20 minutes or so ago. Wow. The 990-foot ocean liner, longer than the Titanic, was deliberately sunk off Florida's panhandle to become the world's largest artificial reef. The S.S. United States, it now rests 180 feet deep on the floor of the Gulf. There have been some really famous people who've been on that boat. Marilyn Monroe. Presidents. Royalty. Yeah. And now it's with the fishes. All right, still to come here on Fox 6 News at 9, horrific allegations leading up to the death of a Milwaukee woman. When victims come forward for help, they should not die. And when victims come forward for help and they die, we have failed. The Fox 6 investigators looking at the many warning signs of domestic violence in this report that's new at 9. And a train car goes off the tracks in Waukesha County where it happened and why it was already back to business today. Have a good day. You're watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy. Trial is looming for a Milwaukee man charged with stabbing his wife to death, then fleeing to Minnesota. And one of the nation's leading experts on family violence says it's a homicide that could have been prevented. Fox 6 investigator Brian Bolson is here in studio with his investigation. Hey, Ben and Kim, prosecutors say Gerard Stewart stabbed his wife 49 times and stuffed her body in the trunk of her own car. But a family violence expert is focused on what happened three months before her death. He calls it a warning shot that Stewart was more likely to escalate to lethal violence. He's been sending off so many red flags for so long, it's almost stunning. A jury will soon decide if 43-year-old Gerard Stewart is guilty of murdering his wife. But one thing is certain, Tamika Stewart is never coming home. She had the restraining order. He had the ankle monitor. Elizabeth Houston is now raising three of her big sister's ten children. She went to the police. And it just wasn't enough. When victims come forward for help, they should not die. And when victims come forward for help and they die, we have failed. Casey Gwynn is one of the nation's leading experts on family violence prevention. We are honored to have you here for day three. He travels the country training nurses, EMTs, police, and prosecutors. It looks like there's some potential blood. How to recognize the clues that an abuser is likely to become. A killer. The majority of all women murdered in America are killed with firearms. But it's not the guns he's focused on. It's something he says most abusers do to victims before the violence escalates. The victim is suffering brain damage by the second. They strangle them. Men who strangle women are the most dangerous men on planet Earth. Research. published in 2008 shows men who strangle their partners are seven and a half times more likely to commit a future homicide than other abusers. Gerard Stewart's history of abusing women is long and well documented. He once shot a woman in the arm, punched another in the face, and was accused by a third of kicking in a door and making death threats. In 2018, he was convicted of pulling his wife's hair, stepping on her face, and threatening to kill her and everything she loves. He raised his hand a long time ago and said that he was more likely to kill. But Gwynn says the most troubling charge came in January 2024. He had made her get naked, you know, take off her clothes. Milwaukee police say Stewart was angry that Tamika was withholding sex. And according to court records, he barricaded her inside the bedroom of their 10th Street home and battered her while at least five of her children helplessly listened. He told... One of our other kiddos that they better not call the police. An 11-year-old called 911 anyway, and officers say they caught Gerard Stewart trying to jump from the bedroom window. In the midst of the ordeal, Tamika said her husband had taken one hand, wrapped it around her neck, and squeezed until she could not breathe. They're telling the victim, I can kill you. I am God, and I will decide if you live or die. Prosecutors charged Gerard Stewart with five crimes, including strangulation and suffocation. And based on published research, Gwynn believes that was Stewart's last warning shot. Men who strangle women are more likely to be the killers of women. A family court commissioner found a substantial risk Gerard may eventually kill Tamika and impose in strangulation cases. Those numbers are astronomical. They are. Michelle Coppins heads Milwaukee County's Domestic Violence High Risk Team, which meets twice a week to review the most dangerous cases and craft recommendations to protect victims. We are over capacity nearly every week. Last year alone they took on more than 1,600 high risk cases and in 194 of them, strangulation primary risk factor, but Petrie says those are just the tip of the iceberg. There's so many strangulations. They can only review the cases where a person who's been strangled passed out or lost bodily function. It's a category they call strangulation to unconsciousness. Typically, that indicates a higher level of force, a longer duration of time that someone is being strangled. Tamika told police her husband cut off her breathing for what felt like 30 seconds. But she never passed out, meaning her case was unlikely to be flagged high risk on that criteria alone. You can say there's way too many stranglers. We can't lock all the stranglers up. I say the stranglers are the ones that should be locked up. Gwynn says he's not casting blame on violence prevention workers in Milwaukee. After all, he helped Petrie to launch Sojourner 10 years ago. But when it comes to Gerard Stewart, he believes the writing was on the wall. He should have been in jail. Jail. Petrie says the only one to blame for Tamika's death is whoever killed her. But every death is cause for re-evaluation. Are we missing something? Does something need to change? Change is what Elizabeth Houston is after. I do hope at the end of this that they can come up with something better to protect the victims. That there are 10 children waiting for justice. And a final resolution for the man accused of taking her sister's last breath. Gerard Stewart is finally set to go on trial for homicide in January, three years after his arrest for strangling his wife. Meanwhile, Milwaukee County's domestic violence high-risk team is facing a funding crisis. The team's work has been supported until now by COVID relief funds. The last couple of years, those grants expired at the end of last month. And Carmen Petrie says Sojourner and its partners are committed to continuing their twice-a-week meetings anyway while they try to determine. A sustainable funding source. And when would police respond to a domestic violence call? How do they determine if a case should be screened by the high-risk team? That's a good question. And there's something they've been doing here that others haven't. Every law enforcement agency in Milwaukee County uses something called the Lethality Assessment Program, or LAP survey, to assess domestic violence risk. But our investigation finds they're using an outdated version of that survey, and they're doing so on purpose. I'm going to be back tonight at 10 to explain why. Yeah, and you don't wonder what the circumstance of that case. What if just something happened when he drove by the case? If there was some sort of punishment, would this have stopped that? What we don't know is if it had been flagged by the high-risk team, maybe that GPS violation does more. We just don't know. But again, they say there's just such an overwhelming number of these cases, they have to focus on the most severe ones. But your story showing the link between strangulation and being high-risk, survivors or people who are in abuse situations, they themselves may not realize that they're high-risk. And that's why this is important, because it's educational. You should know if that happens in your situation or you know someone it has happened to. That is a signal. It's a predictor that there is a higher likelihood. It doesn't mean someone's going to become a killer, but a higher likelihood statistically that they will. All right. Brian Paulson, thank you. And if you need help, if you just want to talk to somebody, you don't have to leave now. You can just talk to someone. You can call Sojourner's 24-hour hotline at 414-933-2722. You can also send a text to 414-877-8100. All calls are confidential. You are anonymous. Well, ahead on Fox 6 News at 9, a lithium battery explodes inside of a family's home. This is scary. The home destroyed. The warning sign, seconds before disaster. Yeah, we're going to show you that video coming up. Hey, Holly, we're also tracking a chance for some flakes. We got a chance for some snowflakes tomorrow morning. Otherwise, just some light rain that we'll deal with. I'll map out all of the timing for you coming up next. The future of Act 10 is uncertain, and the question is, who might scrap it first, the legislature or the state Supreme Court? Today, the court decides to hear another challenge to Act 10, the state law that restricts governmental unions. In 2011, protesters took over the Capitol, but they couldn't stop Governor Walker from signing Act 10. The law says that state and local government worker unions can negotiate raises only up to the level of inflation. That does not apply to police and fire. It also means governmental workers pay more for health care premiums and retirement plans than they did before. The law has survived years of legal battles in the state and federal courts. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, under conservative control, upheld Act 10. But now, under liberal control, that same court is going to look at it again. At the same time, Democrats are eyeing repealing the law. They'll have control of the legislature for the first time since Republicans passed it in 2011. We support the restoration of rights for the people of Wisconsin, including collective bargaining rights and the rights of workers in the public and private sector. What you're going to see is, again, districts, if they're facing higher salary costs, higher retirement plan costs, they're actually going to have to look at cutting staffings. That group estimates over time taxpayers might be on the hook for $2 billion more a year. But Governor-elect David Crowley has scoffed at that suggestion. He says he wants to bring people from both sides to the table to look at what to do. Turning now, the Middleton Library has unveiled a new policy when it comes to your pets chewing up books. In lieu of payment for the item, the library would like to offer you an option of submitting a photo of your beloved culprit. The so-called book annihilator is Gidget here. Aw, Gidget. The library says she is delighted in tearing up books. She gets delighted through the magic of Treehouse Book. That's her favorite. Her owner says when she isn't shredding books, quote, she's trying to see how many socks she can fit in her mouth and then place them throughout the yard. So the library is like, if you're going with that excuse, you've got to prove it. You've got to prove it. Okay. Well, the gun deer season, the hunt season, kicks off. In 10 days. And the Milwaukee Admirals, they're all for it. Are they going to be out there in the woods? Probably not. This Saturday, the team's debuting these blaze orange adorned jerseys. Subtle, but pretty sharp. The jerseys will then be auctioned off with the proceeds going to the Admirals Power Play Foundation. So if you want to go out in the woods in one of those jerseys, you can bid on one. There you go. And Fox 6 Coats for Kids, Our Drive is underway. Join Fox 6 and Landmark Credit Union for a special drive-thru collection happening on Saturday. We'll be at the Credit Union headquarters on Executive Drive in Brookfield from 7 until 9 in the morning to accept your donations of new and gently loved coats. As an added bonus to the first 100 cars to come through and donate at least two coats, you get a pair of vouchers good for an upcoming Admirals hockey game. So you can see what kind of jerseys they're wearing. See what we mix those stories? I see. We made it work. Let's go to Holly Baker. It is getting colder. Today was a big, big change from yesterday. And now you're talking flakes? Yes, flakes and even more of a bigger change to come, especially with our temperatures. Today, I would have considered us okay. We got to the 50s. Tomorrow, we won't get to the 50s. Now, we're having trouble here with our temperatures kind Kind of getting away from that 50 degree mark. We're at 49. degrees and we will stay at least in the upper 40s for the next couple of hours even up till midnight. Feels like 45 out there though and our dew points are at 42. Wind is from the north. It started to pick up more about 10 miles per hour right now. However, we could see or actually feel we can't see the wind but you can feel it. You are going to feel tomorrow those wind chills. 20 degrees is what those wind chills are going to be expected to be because we're going to have very gusty winds up to 30 miles per hour. Looking at those temperatures here, you do notice that we've struggled with temperatures even dropping. They've been dropping very, very slowly, which I am not complaining. But that cooler air will continue to settle into our area with our coolest temperatures right now just off to our north. The warmer temperatures are remaining to the south of our viewing area. And as we evaluate temperatures and how they've changed over the last 24 hours, you notice now that we're starting to trend a bit warmer here. And that's really what's been at 8 degrees warmer. We even got some areas like Sheboygan trending about 6 degrees cooler. We got a mix of everything going on. No changes, a warmer change or a cooler change. We're all going to be feeling that cooler change by tomorrow. Here is a look at the temperatures and how they'll trend throughout tonight. We will stay in the 40s once again as we head through closer to midnight. After midnight could stay in the lower 40s. Until we get closer to waking up tomorrow morning, that is when we'll start to have temperatures falling to at least the mid, the mid 30s. Looking at our satellite and radar here, you notice that that cold front has now finally passed our area. We did have a few of those showers that were passing the area earlier. Some of those have moved out, maybe a few just in Racine County as well as Walworth County and going in to Kenosha County there. Otherwise, Otherwise, though, we're looking majority dry for the state. Now, you do notice here we are. We are starting to see a little bit more of those flurries and some snow just to the north. That is lake effect snow. We could see a possibility of maybe just a few snowflakes. But again, listen, it is not going to be something that accumulates. This is just more visible and then it's going to melt because our temperatures are still going to be above freezing. Let's take a look here at our Sky Vision Plus. So going throughout tonight, we kind of get a mixture of clouds kind of pushing in through the area. It won't be full-blown overcast skies. Even waking up tomorrow morning, it will look a little gloomy, but we could get some peaks of sunshine in there. You do notice here that those winds are going to remain elevated, and that's going to be throughout the duration of the day. You also notice in the morning here, though, we could see a few of those flurries. Now, if you're not really close by the lake, you may not even see those snowflakes. You may just stay As you see here. Most of that lake effect rain is staying by the lake, and none of it is pushing that far inland. And that's going to be the case throughout Thursday's forecast. Start to clean up a little bit more heading into Friday with more of that rain to kind of stay over the lake. A few of our lakeside communities could see some of that rain. Otherwise, though, we're looking to be pretty dry. As we head into Saturday, Saturday's going to be even better, as you see here on our six-day planner. More of that sunshine and temperatures warm back up to the mid 40s, upper 40s by the time we end the weekend on Sunday. And then we touch the 50s starting next week. And then we also keep that sunshine going. So really after tomorrow, we're going to be really dealing with nothing but sunshine. So I hope you guys are ready for that. It'll be a good weekend and maybe clean up the leaves, Ben. I did that today a little bit. Oh, you did? Good job. So more of that to come. Thanks, Holly. Well, it's a fairly new state law that makes posting deep fake nudes without consent a crime. And now it's being put to the test. Ben Hanson tells you about a rare case for Kenosha County. This is one of the first times this charge is being prosecuted in Wisconsin. It comes from Act 34, which was passed last October. The defendant in this case, Tristan Prius, is being charged with 12 counts of posting a synthetic, intimate representation of an identifiable person. According to a criminal complaint, Prius created four fake social media accounts pretending to be his ex-girlfriend. That began in August of 2025. On those accounts, he allegedly posted AI-manipulated images of his ex making her naked. Attorney Jonathan Lavoie. with Kim and Lavoie, said the key in this case is that these photos were distributed publicly. There's a lot of Good things happening with AI, but there's also a lot of bad things and the law is trying to catch up with the technology that we're seeing. The criminal complaint says in those posts he asked in exchange for the photos that money be sent to a phone number which belonged to him. When police talked to Prius, he said there was, quote, no ill intent and no reason behind it, that it was for his own satisfaction and that he was sorry. So I think on its face, the evidence... Appears to be fairly strong against this defendant, but again, there could be challenges to whether this statute is legal and whether it's going to be upheld by our Court of Appeals or Supreme Court. These types of charges are so new, Prius told police he didn't even know this was illegal. He's expected in court for his initial appearance on December 2nd. In Kenosha County, Ben Hanson, Fox 6 News. A train goes off the tracks in Sussex last night. Sussex, Lisbon area. Historical Society shared this picture. The single train car ended up on its side near the crossing on Maple Avenue, just north of Main Street. No one was hurt. Union Pacific tells us rail operations were back up and running this morning. On Long Island, New York, officials say eight workers fell from the Loop Parkway Bridge today. Happened after a scaffolding collapsed. Two workers fell into the One of those workers is confirmed dead. The other is still missing tonight. The six other workers who fell did not end up in the water. Terrifying moments in Oregon. A family's home burns down only a few minutes after an unplugged e-bike battery explodes. Take a look at this. Oh, my battery. I'm sorry. Wow. Families say they first smelled something funny when they were trying to find the source. The battery started smoking and then it exploded. And you saw the room became engulfed in flames in just seconds. And within just a few minutes, the entire house was on fire. Luckily, everyone in the home was able to escape. Rough day on the job for a highway worker in Washington State. He was doing his best to drain some water, standing water, off the highway. Oh, come on. Passing drivers hit the puddle full speed and just pushed waves of water over him. The State DOT is using the video as a gentle reminder to slow down, move over, spare the road crews of this unexpected shower while they're on the clock. That one guy, I mean, there's like other traffic, so you're like, I get you don't want to be hit by the bus either. But it's move over. That's the law. Yeah. Okay. Authorities believe he planned to shoot up a school. The alleged plot involving a Fond du Lac team, but the tip came from overseas. And what investigators say they found in his home when they searched it. The chilling details coming up next. A chilling plot uncovered in the Fox Valley. Fond du Lac County prosecutors say a local teen was planning a mass shooting. Today, that teen appeared in adult court. Josh Cavender was the only reporter in the courtroom today and brings us new information. The 15-year-old suspect who allegedly was planning a mass shooting appeared in Fond du Lac County Court Wednesday. State law prohibits the media from identifying juvenile court suspects. The teen faces charges of terrorist threats and disorderly conduct. The investigation started when the FBI received a tip from someone outside the United States. That tip made its way to the Fond du Lac Police Department, who then executed a search warrant on the juvenile's home on October 27th. During the search, investigators seized multiple firearms, a cell phone, and a computer. The 15-year-old was then brought into custody on November 3rd. The Fond du Lac Police Department previously told Fox 11 the youth is not a student in the Fond du Lac School District and did not communicate with people locally. In court, the teen's attorney requested that his client return home after the family made changes. All weapons have been removed from the home. Security cameras have been installed and checked. All right. There are door and window alarms in place, a safety review of the home in order to provide assurances to the court. The prosecutor opposed that request. She said court documents outlined the juvenile's detailed information about plans and even a computer simulation of a target. And while I realize that these are all allegations, these are incredibly serious allegations that we can't afford to be wrong on. The judge said the changes were a good first step, but not enough to outweigh the seriousness of the claims. But I do find that there is still a significant and substantial risk of causing physical harm to another, so I'm going to order that custody continue in secure detention. The prosecutor wants the case moved to adult court. The teen's attorney opposes that. A hearing to make the decision will be held next month. In Fond du Lac, Josh Cavender, Fox 11 News. Court documents for the case are sealed. The juvenile's alleged motive and potential targets have not been released.
